David Nutter, the director who has come of age with Game of
Thrones, has now got his calling. The latest season of the sitcom came to an
end recently, yet again killing one of the lead characters. Only this time it’s
different. It’s a Godsend opportunity for the great director to join the league
of extraordinary showmen, no gender bias there, like Ekta Kapoor.
The death of Jon Snow, has seen a huge outcry from the
public, read the Indian public. The social media has been RIPped apart by the
condolences pouring in from all quarters. Those that do not know who Jon Snow
was, might confuse him with some legend. But mortal that he was, his redemption
awaits at the hands of the director.
The intensity of this outcry feebly matches one of the times
when Mihir Virani, in Ekta Kapoor’s flagship production Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, translated on Wikipedia as Because a Mother-in-law was once a
Daughter-in-law, too or BAMWOADT, was killed. It was a revelation that shot Ekta Kapoor from being a great
showman to a legend. After all, the only person to carry out the feat before
Mihir Virani was around 2000 years back. Jesus! And He had failed to have a facelift
in the comeback!
David Nutter, notoriously eliminates the characters who shot
to high fame in each of his seasons thereby maintaining the balance of power
and payment. However, everybody has his quantum of luck, and David’s chance is
now. None of the martyrs had received such heartfelt condolence from the
audience. And the love is so great that tributes are not limited to Jon Snow
but also extend to ‘John Snow’, ‘Jhon Snow’ and sometimes 'Kaun Snow?'.
